[QUOTE="Matthan, post: 4119899, member: 20005"] Well, here's another voice to the crowd. When I first read the news, I was sad. I had honestly expected to run my first 4E game with a compatible Pathfinder series. I know some people are going to call me naive, but it just didn't occur to me that it wouldn't. I had heard people mention it and even read Erik Mona write that they would consider staying with the OGL, but I guess I just universalized my experience. I wanted to go to 4E, surely everyone would. Now that I've had a day or so to think through it and follow the threads, I'm still sad that I won't get to enjoy their products. What they're making isn't for me. That's fair. And now, I get to follow something interesting. This is an occasion without precedent in the industry if I'm not mistaken. Because of the OGL, Paizo can try to support and be profitable with a prior edition of D&D. If nothing else, that will be fascinating to watch. It may not be what I want to spend money on, but it sure makes for some fun internet drama. Of course now I'm in the market for a new adventure path (or whatever name the other companies decide to use) for 4E. I know I want to support a third party company with it. I'm anxious to hear more about Necromancer's plan. I've never bought their products, but I've heard good things. Of course, I never played first edition, so I don't know what feel I would be buying either. Maybe EN Publishing will update War of the Burning Sky or do another path. If anything, I think I'm more excited about the GSL getting out there. With Paizo out of the picture, there's a large niche for an enterprising company to try and fill. That's exciting. [/QUOTE]
